Danbo and Junko's Picnic

Danbo invited Junko to a picnic where he brewed her favorite coffee to serve her. They sat by the fountain and enjoyed the afternoon.

For get-pushed-89, Kristen @ithinkithunk asked me to do a forced perspective. For this shot, I set up Danbo in front of the fountain, then the coffee cup about 5 feet back on the other side of the fountain, and then Junko another 5 feet beyond sitting low to the ground on the curb of a flowerbed. I was about 7 feet at the other end, using my 105mm. My goal was to have Danbo look at bigger than the mug and have his arms look like they were holding the cup's handle. For a photo from @jyokota Junko's perspective, see: http://365project.org/jyokota/challenges-and/2014-04-06
